Raspberry Chia Fiber Smoothie
Tart raspberries, chia and flax make a berry smoothie with a thick texture. Add liquid gradually and drink soon after blending if you prefer it pourable.
Illustrative recipe imageWhy this smoothie works
- Raspberries give a bright, tart flavour

- Approximately 23g protein with the listed ingredients
Ingredients
1 serving- 1 cupfrozen raspberries
- 3/4 cupplain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbspchia seeds
- 1 tbspground flaxseed
- 1/2 tspvanilla extract

The method
Let’s blend this.
A short seed soak makes the texture more even. Taste the berries before deciding whether to use the optional honey.

Rest · 2 min
Hydrate the seeds
Add almond milk, chia and ground flax to the jug. Stir with the machine off and let stand for about two minutes while you measure the remaining ingredients.
Your cue: The seeds should be wet throughout instead of forming a dry clump.
Add berries & yogurt
Add the raspberries, yogurt and vanilla. Keep the optional honey aside for now and secure the lid.
Your cue: Separate any berries frozen together before they go into the jug.
Blend · about 45 sec
Blend to an even pink
Start low and increase the speed, blending for about 45 seconds. Stop and add a small splash of almond milk if the thick mixture stops circulating.
Your cue: No frozen berry chunks should remain, though fine seeds will still be visible.
Taste & serve promptly
Taste with the machine off. Add the optional honey if wanted and blend briefly. Pour promptly; if the chia thickens the drink, stir in a little almond milk.
Your cue: A little seed texture is part of this recipe, not a sign that you need to keep blending.
The finish line
Here’s what you’re aiming for.
A thick, tart pink smoothie with fine raspberry seeds and a gently spoonable finish.
Too thick, thin or grainy?Blending times are starting points; use the texture cues and your blender’s instructions. Loading order is for a typical upright jug. Switch off before scraping or tasting, and never put utensils into moving blades.
Pro tips
- Strain half the blend through a sieve if you dislike raspberry seeds. You keep most of the fiber in the unstrained half.
- Swap the yogurt for a scoop of vanilla protein and a splash more milk for a dairy-free version.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Add half a cup of ice so the smoothie stays thick and cold.
